I don't understand why anyone would hesitate. It is a simple decision. People fear what problems the vaccine might cause. So lets just logically look at the situation. Covid19 vs. Covid Vaccine.. Pro and cons. Pro's for Covid19 none that I can think of. Cons. Covid has killed 2,000,000+ people world wide and 400,000 just in the USA. Pro's for Covid Vaccine it can prevent you from getting ill from Covid 19 and possibly dying. Cons. You might get a sore arm, but you also might live to talk about it. I know of no serious side effect of the vaccine. What is there to think about. If we had odds like that in Vegas, we would all be mortgaging our houses and heading for Nevada.
I’ll tell you why I hesitate. I fear what could come out 10 years down the line from this vaccine. There are several medications that have been “proven” safe and many years later doctors and scientists realize there are serious side effects. I know many many people who have had Covid, and all of them have recovered just fine. Most were barely sick, a few felt like crap for week, but all were back to normal health in less than 2 weeks. I don’t fear getting Covid in the least.
And just to be clear I’m up to date on all regular vaccines. But I see no reason to vaccinate myself with a brand new vaccine against an illness that only causes seriously illness or death in a very small fraction of people. Now if Covid had a much higher death or serious illness rate and I considered it a threat to my health then I would take the possible long term vaccine risk. But I’m not going to take that risk to prevent an illness that at most will make me feel like crap for a week.
I fully understand that many people see the virus as a higher risk than the vaccine. And that’s fine, that’s why we all have choices to make. People can choose for themselves which they fear more.
